The special case for using winbind is when, using Samba as the PDC, you
wish to insist that a username/password pair from a system not a domain
member is not authenticated even if the username/password pair matches
that of a domain user (maybe more correctly to state that the domain
part is missing from the supplied credentials). Note that generally
with a pure Windows network and a Windows NT4 PDC, as well as Windows
in general (peer to peer), matching username/password credentials are
enough to authenticate, so using winbind in this situation creates an
environment more restrictive then generally expected.
Interesting! Is this behavior documented?
